In just the blink of an eye, a woman lost her best friend. Cynthia Kivlan said her 4-year-old Chihuahua, Ruby, went missing and was discovered at a rescue center in another city. The only problem was that someone else adopted her before Kivlan could arrive at the facility. "By the time I got there -- just by a matter of hours -- it was too late," Kivlan said. Her family is just trying to reach out to whomever adopted Ruby, hoping they would have compassion to give her back. "I hope somebody can find it in their hearts to please bring her back to me,” she said. “She was my best friend. I love her."But, if that doesn’t happen, Kivlan said she just wants to make sure Ruby is happy. "Of course, we would like her back, but the main thing is to know she's OK," Kivlan said.
